area houses all of Central Library’s nonfiction titles, with several special collections.
Here is where you can reserve research computers and get the expert help you need.

One of the most valuable areas in Forsyth County houses our history, including printed
and online materials, maps, and artifacts. Visit the North Carolina Room on the

All the latest books, newspapers, and magazines are available at Central Library’s
